    <p>
    This function returns  in vector <tt>
        <b>nonan</b>
      </tt> the values
    (ignoring the  NANs) of a vector or  matrix <tt>
        <b>x</b>
      </tt> and
    in  the corresponding places  of vector  <tt>
        <b>numb</b>
      </tt> the
    indexes of the value.</p>
    <p>
    For      a      vector      or     matrix      <tt>
        <b>x</b>
      </tt>,
    <tt>
        <b>[nonan,numb]=thrownan(x)</b>
      </tt>    considers    <tt>
        <b>x</b>
      </tt>,
    whatever  his dimensions  are, like  a  vector (columns
    first).</p>
    <p>
    In  Labostat, NAN  values stand  for missing  values in
    tables.</p>
